Assesing the talent: Nebraska coaches only got 1 prospect out of the state of Texas last year in Will Henry. This year, Nebraska coaches plan on hitting Texas with everything they have. They have already offered the top 2 preseason prospects in QB Ryan Mallett and LB/DE Richetti Jones. Bradley Stephens is now next on that list of prospects being targeted. He is ranked 21st on the top 100 Texas prospects for 2007. He currently has verbal offers from Texas A&M, Iowa St, Okla St, and Houston. He's also receiving mail from Nebraska, Notre Dame, Florida St, Florida, Michigan, Ohio St, Texas, Missouri and Miami.
Last year, he rushed for 2,640 yards on 245 carries (avg 10.7 yards per carry) and 38 touchdowns. He also caught 12 passes for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also played on special teams, and gained 325 yards on kickoff returns. He earned all South Texas team MVP honor and 2nd team all RB honors after RB Joseph Reese who is expected to be the top RB prospect in Texas for the 2007 class (currently ranked 15th on the 2007 watch list). In addition to his staggering numbers on the field, Bradley has a knack for knowledge in the classroom with his 4.0 GPA which makes him even more attractive.
Bradley has a bench press of 295 pounds, squat of 575 and a vertical of 34 1/2 inches.
Odds of becoming a Husker: to early to tell with so much interest.
